Brent "Thunder" Petway

Took my son to see the Globetrotters today and was pleasantly surprised to see him starting. Man can that guy fly! He really has found his niche - he practically stole the show with all kinds of dunks, and seemed to enjoy acting like a goof with the other guys. Its not the NBA, but a perfect gig for a flyer like him.

Globetrotters made a stop at Terre Haute,IN where I live and go to school. Anyways I work at Applebee's as a server and was told that they came into the Bee's to eat after their game that night. Though I wasn't there working that night (wish I was, so I could meet a former Wolverine) I was told that the server that served them that night only recieved a dollar or less from each of the players. Kind of sad.

The name Hasheem Thabeet still makes me angry. I was at Pitt in 08-09 when he shared Big East POY with Dejaun Blair about two weeks after Blair dominated him on his own court. Then Thabeet goes #2 overall and Blair doesn't get the same love.

Had no idea who he was, just saw a commotion. Headed over to try to calm things down, and here I was, staring up at this HUGE guy with a big grin saying he was just looking to have a good time. He was an awesome guy to little freshman-year me. I'm glad to see him doing something he loves
